FACEBOOK - According to your recent Facebook NewsFeed, that one friend Rob is totally listening to a song by some hip and non-mainstream band you've never heard of on the music streaming service Spotify.

Realizing that you are not familiar with the works of Doomtree - whoever the heck they are - you are momentarily overcome with a vague sense of inferiority and alienation, which simultaneously makes your friend Rob appear at once a really cool guy and yet a pretentious dick.

Even though you could quite easily navigate your way to Wikipedia and glean more information about the Minnesota-based hip hop collective, you nonetheless convince yourself that, deep down, there's nothing wrong with only liking the mainstream beats of Coldplay, Adele and U2.

Still, you can't help but think that your own online reputation would be immeasurably improved if you just posted a comment on Rob's wall agreeing whole-heartedly with his choice in music.

However, before you can offer up such a disingenuous gesture, your mind is irreversibly distracted by the site of a really divisive political video shared to Facebook by your nauseating cousin Angela.  

Terms and Conditions Skimmed Over, Accepted

KOKOMO - For the 10 billionth time since the advent of the website disclaimer, a set of terms and conditions were today lightly skimmed over and roundly accepted without so much as a moment's thought as to their contents.

Girl about to get educated.

Signing up to services provided by horoscopecraziness.com, Kokomo resident and grade 12 high school student Andrea Allthorpe impatiently clicked the 'I Agree' button without actually reading section 2.1.4, which clearly states that "by accepting the aforementioned terms and conditions, the member permits this website to send bi-monthly premium text messages to said member's mobile phone."

"It's such a cool website," smiled the naive 17-year-old, reading the week's entry for Scorpios. "Apparently events in my life are going take a curious turn this week, as Saturn aligns with Venus and an epic decision presents itself."

What the horoscope failed to predict was that a charge of $9.99 is imminently set to appear on her parents' family share plan statement, resulting in the youngster being banned from using her iPhone 4S for two months.

"I can't wait for next week's horoscope," she continued with a heartbreaking level of excitement. "Perhaps I'm about to come into some money or something!"

Utterly unaware of the irreparable damage she had just done to her parent's finances, Miss Allthorpe proceeded to unwittingly compound the situation further by navigating to freecoolringtones.com.
